- Title
Mary Wollstonecraft on Reason, Marriage, Family Life, and the Development of Virtue in A Vindication of the Rights of Woman.
- Authors
Kerry, Paul E.
- Abstract
Gracious Creator of the whole human race! hast thou created such a being as woman, who can trace thy wisdom in thy works, and feel that thou alone are by thy nature exalted above her,--for no better purpose?--Can she believe that she was only made to submit to man, her equal, a being, who, like her, was sent into the world to acquire virtue?--Can she consent to be occupied merely to please him; merely to adorn the earth, when her soul is capable of rising to thee?--And can she rest supinely dependent on man for reason, when she ought to mount with him the arduous steeps of knowledge?
